CAMP DATES: JUNE 28 - JULY 1, 2012We are excited to again offer our Husker Athletic Camp for high school students and coaches. There are few experiences which will better prepare you to pursue athletic training at your high school, at the college level, or as a career.

As a participant you will receive a comprehensive overview of athletic training. All participants will receive one-on-one instruction in taping techniques, injury evaluation, and emergency procedures. Participants will obtain valuable experience during the workshop and be able to apply and practice these skills at your high school.

Due to the continued growth of our clinic we are now providing two separate levels of skills adaptable to each participant's particular skill level.

The BASIC level is for students who have had very little experience and have never attended our clinic. The ADVANCED level is designed for those students who have attended our clinic previously or have experience as a student trainer. Students will benefit from the concentrated focus this workshop will provide in caring for athletes.

During your stay you will have the opportunity to experience some of the tradition of the University of Nebraska and its great athletic department facilities and staff. You will enjoy meeting other students from around the region and also listen to some of the most respected professionals in the field. We look forward to having you in camp.
